History

Hume station was initially built as a "shell station" together with the second phase of the Downtown Line, which opened in 2015. As there was no developments in the area, the station was not opened at that time.[4][5][6][7]

On 7 March 2019, the station was announced during a parliamentary debate, and is planned to be open by 2025. the redevelopment of the Rail Corridor, along with the future transformation of the former Bukit Timah Fire Station into a recreational node, were stated as reasons that would increase potential ridership and justify the opening of the station.[4]
